a storm of laughter arose and even the tiniest child joined in. For the moment the boys were a closed circuit of sympathy.

Explanation:

This is an excerpt from the book "The Lord of the Flies" and shows a moment of laughter and fun among the boys involved in the story.

"The Lord of the Flies" tells the story of a group of well-educated English boys who were stranded on a remote island, without the slightest ability to get out and return to their homes. The situation made the boys modify their behavior and experience a reality very different from what they were used to.

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x
